This remarkable memoir tells of the miseries of Jean Marteilhe of Bergerac, a Protestant condemned to the Galleys of France for his Religion, who, after the revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685, attempted, like so many French Huguenots, to escape to the more sympathetic Protestant countries bordering France. In 1700, heading through the Ardennes towards Charleroi, he was captured by French Dragoons and thrown into gaol.In 1707 he then found himself, like so many Huguenots, condemned to serve in the French Mediterranean galleys. Little is known of life as a galley slave on these oared vessels. Certainly no accounts have come down to us from ancient Greece or Rome, though a little is known from the time of the Crusades. So Marteilhes racy account represents the only authentic record of the miseries of a galley slave who experienced all the horrors of whips and chains and the dreaded bastinado—foot whipping.For six years he pulled his oar, often seeing friends and co-religionists lashed—sometimes to death—under the whips of the overseers. He himself sustained almost fatal injuries in a bloody engagement with the British off the mouth of the Thames before being released under a general amnesty in 1713.Galley Slave brings vividly to life the sufferings and conditions on the seventeenth- and eighteenth-century galleys and is a unique and unforgettable account.

Excerpt from The Story of Antonio, the Galley-Slave: A Romance of Real Life, in Three Parts This book has the appearance of a novel, yet is no fiction but a romance of real life. The events narrated in a somewhat dramatical manner were actual experiences of the narrator. It is perhaps the only book extant which gives autobiographically a correct idea of the life of a galley slave, with its untold sufferings and horrors. As here described they are not drawn from imagination, but are vivid recollections of almost infernal realities. The whole story forms a chain of extraordinary happenings. It is the veritable record of the life of a valiant young soldier who served as a drummer boy in Garibaldi's heroic struggle for Italian liberty in 1849, and who, after many sufferings and re markable deliverances, escaped to free America. Here he found friends, a Saviour, and his life work. Returning to Italy, he preached the gospel of peace for nine years in Florence, and since then for thirty years he has been a very successful pastor among his countrymen in New York.
